SPINNlNG- MACHINE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 324,931, dated August 25,1885.

Application filed September 12,1882. (No model.) Patented in France July 25, lS81,1\'o.144,223,- in Belgium November 17,1881, No 513,257; in England November 13, 188i, No. 5,050, and in AustiiadlungaryMay 25, 18%, No.10,T:27/1,001 and No. 20,'293/l,000.

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PAUL FLEURY, of Gonneville, France, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Spinning-Machines, (for which I have obtained a patent in France, No. 144,223, July 25,1881; in Belgium, No. 56,257, November v17, 1881; in Austria Hungary No. 10,727/1,001 and No. 20,293/ 1,000, May 25, 1882, and in England, No. 5,059, No vember 18, 1881 and I. do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, forming a part of this specification.

The object of my invention is chiefly to provide improved mechanism for raising the traverse rails of spinning machines at regular intervals, so that the bobbins supported thereon may also be correspondingly raised while in rotation to properly wind the thread on the same.

The nature of my invention will be fully described below, and pointed out in the claims.

In the drawings, Figure l is an end view of a part ofa spinning-machine with my improvement attached thereto. Fig. 2 is an end view, partly in vertical section. Fig. 8 is a front view thereof, showing but one of the spindles, in order to better represent some of the other parts.

A is a drum which, through suitable bands, rotates the spindles and receives motion from the prime motor, in any of the well-known ways. The said drum is located between the ends of the frame I, and is mounted on the shaft (1.. At one end of the drum-shaft, projecting without the frame, is mounted a worm, C, driving a worm-wheel, D. On the shaft of the worm-wheel D is a second worm, E, which also drives a worm-wheel, F, below it. The shaft of worm-wheel F is short, and only extends slightly within the lower part of frame F. Between the end of the frame and the wheel F this shaft carries an elliptical cam, G, the purpose of which is to depress by its pro jections the lever H at regular intervals. The said lever is pivoted at I to a bracket, 1, which extends up as a support for the journal of the shaft carrying the worm-wheel D and worm E. See Fig. 1. To the free end of thelever is attached one end of the chain J, by means of an adjustable screw-bolt, t. The other end of the chain passes partly around and is fastened to a pulley, K, arranged on one end of an oscillating or rock shaft, L ,located between the ends of the frame of the machine. The said chain transmits motion from the lever to the shaft L, and the purpose of making the former adjustable as to length in connection with the lever and shaft is to regulate or limit the throw of the traverse rails Z Z through the shaft L and its connections with them, which will presently be described. The shorter the chain J the higher will be the traverse, and vice versa. The shaft L is also provided with two more pulleys, K K, (see Fig. 3,) and from these depend chains J J, which are fastened to the under side of cross-heads N N by adjustable screw bolts or pins t t. From the cross-heads the vertical rods M M extend upward, and are suitably joined at their upper ends to the traverse rails. It will now be seen how the shaft L is connected with the traverse rails and gives them vertical motion as it oscillates. (See Fig. 3.)

At each end of the traverse rails Z Z project two pins, 1) p, and to permit of an engagement with the frame of the machine the latter is vertically slotted at 1' 0 Hence the pins and slots constitute devices forguiding the said rails and limiting the lateral play thereof. The bobbins S S are supported on the traverse rails Z Z, and the latter have notches t' 1' extending across the upper edge of the front portion. From these at regular intervals depend weights w 10, which, through the cords by which they are suspended, serve to exert a drag on the bobbins as they are revolved to wind the thread. The spindles s s have the usual fliers at the top, and pass down through the traverse rails and rest upon the step-rails O 0, arranged between the ends of the frame. The spindles are provided with whirls T T, and between these and the drum A a band is arranged, so that the drum may rotate the spindles at the same time it is transmitting motion to the traverse rails.

The operation of my devices is briefly this: lVhen the projections of the cam on the shaft of wheel F assume a vertical position, the lever is pressed down, and the chain J, shaft L, chains J J, cross-heads N N, and rods M M lift the traverse rails to their upward limit. WVhen the projections of the cam are horizontal, the parts fall by gravity, except the lever, which is drawn up to be again depressed.

Having fully described my invention, What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 15-- 1. The combination of the lever H with the actuating-cam G, the worm-wheel F, and its shaft, the worm E, Worm-wheel D, worm G, and the drum-shaft a, the adjustable chain J, pulley K, and the shaft L, pulleys K K, chains J J, cross-heads N N, vertical rods M M, and the traverse rails Z Z, as set forth.
